ITS A GIRL!!! woohoo! I admit to having a split second regret that it wasn't a boy, before crying about how happy I was that we're having a perfect little girl. <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dance.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/love2.gif">

I can't wait to find out on the 13th!! I am soooo stealing your idea about when the u/s is to tell my mom!!! And the sending flower thing. GREAT idea!! Maybe even for Dad too since he might not be abl to get out of work for it. I am SO happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/bouncing.gif">

Epiphany,
I know exactly what you mean about the "spit second of regret". I had that same exact feeling when I found out our second was another boy. I felt it for a second and than was totally ecstatic about another boy.

Thank you all for your notes. I just love this board, you have all helped me thru SO much. Everything from dealing with weird excretions to odd cravings and everything else. You have all just been so wonderful. Virtual hugs to all of you women, and the few men too. ;}

As for the flower thing... it went over so well! I had them do all pink flowers, and the card said: "Happy Valentine's Day Grandma, love and babygirl kisses, your grandaughter." She was so sure the u/s wasn't till monday that she told everyone I just put that on there cause she thought the baby was a girl. Then when she talked to me and found out it was real she couldn't stop crying! We had to get off the phone cause she was bawling so bad. I have to say the surprise part was awesome, although it was hard for me to keep the secret. I wouldn't tell anyone till my parents knew, so they were bugging me all morning... It was so worth it.

And thank you too coppertop...I have to say I was a tad bit guilty about the preference thing. But thanks to you, and others on this board, I know its normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I know I will absolutely ADORE this baby girl and couldn't be happier!

You know something - try having the internet with baby 1 and none with 2 so you DO know what you are missing!! <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dizzy.gif"> That was a big NO NO <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/nono.gif">. I get like you to Epiphany where you just wish you could reach out and have cocoa with these girls and talk about all this in person because you love it so much! <IMG SRC="http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/heart.gif">
